There is a big difference between a true entrepreneur and a maker who has a business. Most of the time we have created (or will create) a business from an maker state of mind. You just want to make your product and you wish you had other people to do all the other things.
I hear it ALL THE TIME.
It is somewhat easy to start a packaged product business, but creating one that lasts and doesn't require you to do all the things requires new skills and stepping into new roles that are outside of your comfort zone.
But that doesn't mean you avoid it. You can't! This is not a hobby. This is a business. You must look at your finances, know your numbers, create a vision and plan your year and quarters strategically. To create a business that makes money even if you aren't there toiling away requires you to fall in love with entrepreneurship as much as making your product.
In today's podcast I explain the three roles you MUST perform for your business to work and how most people are only performing one of them. If you aren't willing to step into the other two roles, your business will run (or ruin) you. I've seen it over and over again and I don't want that to be your story. 💔
